1. To think like Jesus is to risk the many gifts we have from God, not guard or bury secretly our treasure in congenial sod. 2. God gives us wealth of soul to dare ten thousand good, creative deeds; still there are times when saints decline to grow the gifts the Spirit seeds. 3. We hold a story that explodes with news God's mercies never fail. Why speak the words as if they made a merely cautionary tale? 4. We can live boldly with a God who ventures grace so dauntlessly, and learn to take, like Jesus did, the risk of generosity. From Songs for the Cycle ©2004 by Michael Hudson.
